It's hard to know a good idea from a bad one, especially when it comes to an offering or income-generation method. How do you know which one will be successful? How do you weigh a day job or part-time work against your business offerings? How do you branch out from your existing offerings? Or maybe you've made too many offerings and it's time to trim out the overgrowth?
Use this simple quiz to analyze your offerings. I've systematized the analysis process to streamline an otherwise nebulous journey. Let the paper, PDF, or spreadsheet hold a reminder of how your offerings relate to one another. Post it (printed or digitally) someplace that will remind you of where you want to see your business expand to in the future. Reuse this tool time and again as you innovate and try on new offerings for size!
This is a worksheet for multi-talented and full of potential self-employed business owners who want to identify their first or next best business offering. Those just starting out will get clarity on what offering to start with, and more established businesses will learn which offerings to expand to. I help you analyze your offering ideas and prioritize your business offerings.
